GOVERNMENT FIRST ARTICLE TEST

DERCO AEROSPACE, INC. (CAGE 8X044) has been awarded a delivery order under the IDIQ contract SPE4AX26DP001, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency, with a total contract value of $153.00, awarded on July 16, 2026. The contract covers two line items: a Government First Article Test for a structural support component and associated support services, both referenced under NSN 1560006072306 and 0001S00000052, with pricing structured at $1.00 per unit for each, reflecting a nominal placeholder pending final price negotiations for unpriced National Item Identification Numbers under the overarching C-130 AC PBL contract SPE4AX-26-D-9401. Performance is to occur at the contractor’s facility in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with FOB Origin terms, meaning delivery, inspection, and acceptance all occur at the contractor’s site under direct Government oversight, including formal First Article Testing. The contract mandates compliance with DLA’s Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements, MIL-STD-129 for marking and labeling, and ASTM D3951 or TQ Requirement IP025 for packaging depending on whether materials are hazardous. The contractor, certified as a small business, must maintain CMMC Level 2 cybersecurity certification and comply with export control regulations under ITAR and EAR, including JCP certification for handling controlled technical data. Payment is administered by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, with invoices submitted per instructions referenced in Item 12. The contract does not specify an overall period of performance but implies ongoing support tied to the parent IDIQ contract, which has a maximum potential value of over $50 million. No COR/COTR is listed, but the Procuring Contracting Officer is Andrew Davitt of DLA Aviation.
